![Text Box: What is ENERGY STAR?
Products that earn the ENERGY STAR use less energy and prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy. With energy costs and global warming top-of-mind for consumers, PARTNER X is committed to offering solutions that help consumers conserve energy and improve the quality of our environment.
ENERGY STAR not only saves you money, it helps protect the environment
The typical household spends $1,900 a year on energy bills. With ENERGY STAR, you can save nearly $600 on energy bills. By choosing [Brand] ENERGY STAR qualified [PRODUCT], you can save you up to $x annually on your energy bills.
But more than saving energy, ENERGY STAR also makes a difference for the environment. Did you know that the average house can be responsible for twice the greenhouse gas emissions as the average car? That’s because every time you flip on a light switch, run your dishwasher, or turn on your air conditioner, you use energy, which means more greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. So the more energy we can save through energy efficiency, the more we help to reduce greenhouse gases and the risks of global warming.
So join PARTNER in making a difference with ENERGY STAR. Go to www.energystar.gov for more information.

Appliances
ENERGY STAR qualified clothes washers:
Use about 30% less energy and 35-50% less water than standard models
Saves enough water to do over 300 loads of laundry
Save energy due to high speed spin options which remove more water, reducing drying time
Use an average of 18-25 gallons of water per load, compared to the 40 gallons used by a standard machine
ENERGY STAR qualified dishwashers:
Are 20% more energy efficient
Can contain internal water heaters and soil sensors
Have internal water heaters that save up to 10% on water heating costs
Use an average of 800 fewer gallons of water per year
ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerators:
A new ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerator uses less energy than a 75-watt light bulb run continuously
Have better insulation to keep refrigerated air from escaping
Use efficient compressors
Have more precise temperature and defrost mechanisms to regulate temperature more effectively
Heating and Cooling
ENERGY STAR qualified HVAC:
ENERGY STAR qualified heating products are up to 15% more efficient due to:
Improved combustion
Modulation distribution fan/pumps
Better heat exchangers
Electric ignition (instead of pilot light)
ENERGY STAR qualified cooling products are 20-25% more efficient due to:
Larger heat exchangers
Modulating fans/compressors
Better expansion valves
ENERGY STAR qualified heating and cooling products can save 10-30% of all household energy consumption through the latest improvements in energy efficiency
ENERGY STAR qualified room air conditioners:
ENERGY STAR qualified room air conditioners exceed minimum federal standards for energy consumption by at least 10% due to features like:
High-efficiency compressors
Fan motors
Heat transfer surfaces
Timers
Improved insulation
More efficient motors and improved insulation make ENERGY STAR qualified room air conditioners quieter than conventional models
ENERGY STAR qualified programmable thermostats:
Have a pre-set energy saving program (four settings a day) that both a weekday and weekend option
Allow different temperatures to be set at different times of the day
Include a feature to reduce the amount of auxiliary heat from a multi-stage heat pump
Must match existing heating/cooling equipment cycle rate
ENERGY STAR qualified dehumidifiers:
Costs less to own and operate
Use about 10% less energy to remove the same amount of moisture as a similarly-sized conventional unit
A 40-pint ENERGY STAR qualified dehumidifier can save consumers roughly $10 per year. Over the life of the unit, that’s almost enough to pay for the dehumidifier!
ENERGY STAR qualified room air cleaners:
ENERGY STAR qualified room air cleaners are 35% more efficient than conventional models
Must meet minimum UL safety requirements
Must meet a stringent CADR/Watt requirement, while minimizing energy use
Cost less to operate
ENERGY STAR qualified home electronics:
40% of all electricity used to power home electronics is consumed while the products are turned off. ENERGY STAR qualified electronics products in the “off” position use up to 50% less energy than conventional models.
Because they produce less heat, ENERGY STAR office products provide an additional 15-30% savings by reducing cooling loads.
By 2015, home electronics and small appliances will be responsible for almost 30% of all household electricity use.
ENERGY STAR qualified office equipment:
Because they produce less heat, ENERGY STAR office products reduce cooling loads by about 15%, and up to 30% in warmer climates, further reducing energy bills
ENERGY STAR qualified office products use about half as much electricity as standard equipment – saving half in utility costs.
ENERGY STAR qualified computers, copiers, faxes, printers, monitors, scanners and multifunction devices automatically go into “sleep” mode after periods of inactivity.
“Sleep” mode helps office products run cooler and last longer
ENERGY STAR qualified computers use 75% less energy in “sleep” mode
ENERGY STAR qualified copiers use 40% less energy in “sleep” mode
